Haggai 2
1 In the seventh month, on the twenty-first of the month, came the word of Yahweh, by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying:
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na nzela ya mosakoli Aje, na mokolo ya tuku mibale na moko ya sanza ya sambo:
2 Speak, I pray thee, unto Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, pasha of Judah, and unto Jehoshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, —and unto the remnant of the people, saying: —
« Loba na Zorobabeli, mwana mobali ya Shealitieli, moyangeli ya Yuda; na Jozue, mwana mobali ya Yeotsadaki, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, mpe na bato nyonso oyo batikali:
3 Who is there among you that is left, that saw this house, in its former glory? And how do ye see it now? Is it not, in comparison with that, as nothing, in your eyes?
‹ Kati na bino oyo bozali na bomoi, nani amonaki Ndako oyo kati na nkembo na yango ya liboso? Bongo sik’oyo, bozali komona yango ndenge nini? Boni, ezali te komonana na miso na bino lokola eloko ya pamba?
4 Now, therefore—Be strong, O Zerubbabel, urgeth Yahweh, and be strong, O Jehoshua son of Jehozadak the high priest, and be strong, all ye people of the land, urgeth Yahweh, and work; For, I, am with you, Declareth Yahweh of hosts.
Kasi sik’oyo, Zorobabeli, zala makasi, › elobi Yawe. ‹ Jozue, mwana mobali ya Yeotsadaki, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, zala makasi. Bino nyonso bato ya ekolo, bozala makasi, › elobi Yawe, ‹ bosala mosala, pamba te nazali elongo na bino, › elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
5 The very thing that I solemnized with you, when ye came forth out of the land of Egypt, That, my spirit abiding in your midst, ye should not fear.
‹ Kolanda mokano oyo nazwaki mpo na bino tango bobimaki na Ejipito, Molimo na Ngai azali kati na bino. Bobanga te. ›
6 For, thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Yet once, a little, it is, —and I am shaking the heavens and the earth, and the sea and the dry land;
Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: ‹ Na mwa tango moke, nakoningisa lisusu Likolo mpe mokili, ebale monene mpe mabele;
7 And I will shake all the nations, and the delight of all the nations, shall come in, —and I will fill this house with glory, saith Yahweh of hosts.
nakoningisa bato ya bikolo nyonso, bomengo ya bikolo nyonso ekoya na esika oyo, mpe nakotondisa Ndako oyo na nkembo, › elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
8 Mine is the silver and Mine the gold, Declareth Yahweh of hosts:
‹ Wolo mpe palata ezali ya Ngai, › elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
9 Greater shall be the last glory of this house than the first, saith Yahweh of hosts, —and, in this place, will I give prosperity, Declareth Yahweh of hosts.
‹ Nkembo ya Ndako ya sika ekozala monene koleka nkembo ya Ndako ya kala, › elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, ‹ mpe nakotia kimia na esika oyo, › elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga. »
10 On the twenty-fourth of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Yahweh unto Haggai the prophet, saying:
Na mobu ya mibale ya bokonzi ya Dariusi, Yawe alobaki na mosakoli Aje, na mokolo ya tuku mibale na minei ya sanza ya libwa:
11 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, —I pray you, ask the priests a direction, saying:
« Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: ‹ Tuna Banganga-Nzambe makambo oyo osengeli kosala kolanda mobeko:
12 If a man carry holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and then toucheth with his skirt bread or a cooked dish or wine or oil or any food, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No.
— Soki moto moko amemi na songe ya elamba mosuni oyo ebulisama, mpe songe yango etuti lipa to ndunda to vino to mafuta to bilei mosusu, boni, ekokoma bule? › » Banganga-Nzambe bazongisaki: — Te, ekokoma bule te!
13 Then said Haggai, If one who is defiled for a dead person touch any of these, shall it be defiled? And the priests answered and said, It shall be defiled.
Mosakoli Aje alobaki: — Soki moto oyo akomaki mbindo mpo ete asimbaki ebembe asimbi eloko moko kati na biloko wana, boni, eloko yango ekokoma mbindo? Banganga-Nzambe bazongisaki: — Iyo, ekokoma mbindo.
14 Then answered Haggai and said, So, is this people and, so, is this nation before me, Declareth Yahweh, and, so, is every work of their hands, —therefore, whatsoever they offer there, is, defiled.
Mosakoli Aje alobaki lisusu: « Bato oyo mpe ekolo oyo bazali nde ndenge wana na miso na Ngai, » elobi Yawe, « misala nyonso oyo basalaka mpe biloko nyonso oyo babonzelaka Ngai ezalaka ya mbindo.
15 Now, therefore, I pray you apply your heart, from this day and upwards, —So long as there had not been laid one stone upon another in the temple of Yahweh,
Mpe sik’oyo, kobanda lelo, botala malamu makambo oyo ekoya liboso ete libanga moko etiama na likolo ya libanga mosusu kati na Tempelo ya Yawe.
16 So long were things thus, that, on coming unto a heap of twenty, then was it found to be ten, —on coming unto the vat to draw off fifty measures, then were there found to be twenty.
Tango moto moko azalaki koya mpo na kozwa bikolo tuku mibale ya ble na ebombelo, azalaki kokuta kaka bikolo zomi; tango moto moko azalaki kokende na ekamolelo masanga ya vino mpo na kozwa bambeki tuku mitano ya vino, azalaki kaka kokuta bambeki tuku mibale.
17 I smote you with blight and with mildew and with hail, in all the work of your hands, —Yet ye did not return unto me, Declareth Yahweh.
Napesaki bino etumbu, tango nabebisaki misala na bino nyonso ya maboko, tango natindelaki yango bokono ya ndenge na ndenge mpe tango nanokisaki mvula ya mabanga. Kasi atako bongo, bozongaki epai na Ngai te, » elobi Yawe.
18 Apply your heart, I pray you, from this day and upwards, —from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, even from the day when was founded the temple of Yahweh, apply your heart:
« Kobanda lelo, mokolo ya tuku mibale ya sanza ya libwa, botala malamu miboko ya Tempelo ya Yawe, oyo batiaki; botala malamu penza makambo oyo ekoleka.
19 Is the seed yet in the store-house? Howbeit, though at present neither, the vine nor the fig-tree nor the pomegranate nor the olive tree, hath brought forth, from this very day, will I bless you.
Boni, bibombelo na bino ezali lisusu na bambuma? Kino na moyi ya lelo, ata elanga moko te ya vino, ya figi, ya grenade mpe ya olive esili kobota bambuma. Kasi kobanda lelo, nakopambola bino. »
20 Then came the word of Yahweh, the second time unto Haggai, on the twenty-fourth of the month, saying:
Yawe alobaki, na mbala ya mibale, na mosakoli Aje, na mokolo ya tuku mibale na minei ya sanza ya libwa:
21 Speak thou unto Zerubbabel, pasha of Judah, saying, —I am shaking, the heavens and the earth;
« Loba na Zorobabeli, moyangeli ya Yuda, ete nakoningisa likolo mpe mabele,
22 And I will overturn the throne of kingdoms, and will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations, —and I will overturn the chariots and them who ride therein, and horses and their riders, shall come down, every man by the sword of his brother.
nakobalola bakiti ya bokonzi, nakosilisa nguya ya bokonzi ya mikili ya bapagano, nakokweyisa bashar mpe bato oyo batambolisaka yango; bampunda ekokweya elongo na bato oyo batambolaka likolo na yango, bango na bango bakobomana na mopanga.
23 On that day, declareth Yahweh of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel—my servant, declareth Yahweh, and will set thee as a signet-ring; For, thee, have I chosen, Declareth Yahweh of hosts.
Na mokolo wana, » elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, « nakozwa yo Zorobabeli, mwana mobali ya Shealitieli, mosali na Ngai, mpe nakokomisa yo lokola kashe na Ngai, pamba te ezali yo nde Ngai napona, » elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
